It's obvious to me now that I must venture deeper into the water and get a long scoop, the surf is nearly always rough here, it's hard to stay on your feet, but I want that gold and it sure isn't on the dry sand. Well done and keep hunting mate, hope you have a great year!
Yes it's a rough surf here in the winter also, but I find staying out deeper is not as bad except for the current a passing wave makes will sometimes move you several feet away from the hole your digging. One beach I hunt was named the worst beach in America for Spinal injuries due to the surf break.
Hey... a Guys gotta do what a Guys gotta do.. right? ;D

finderzzs - if you got out 45 times and found 35 gold rings you must have been coming home with gold rings almost every time out. That's pretty remarkable.

I have been to Kauai and Maui but not the the big island. If you did so well where you are I would think it would be even better on the other islands. Of coarse you might have more competition. Do you have much competition were you are?

So, I imagine most of that stuff will be sold..... ;D ;D ;D ;D

You know I normally keep everything, but my house was recently broken into and they didn't take my rings so I scrapped the plain stuff, not the diamonds etc.
There are several hunters on this island but with beaches spread out, you don't often run into each other.
Plus I'm better than they are ;D ;D ;D :D
A couple of the rings including 2 diamond rings came from Kauai, I went hunting over there for a few days.
It's better, I think, to just get to really know your own beaches, although I love to take mini vacations.
And yes I normally come home with gold, It's irks me when I don't, considering I have to drive 100 miles each way and gas at $3.40/gal. Then the beaches are packed by noon 1 o'clock I have to start hunting at 6 am.
now i can say i am truly humbled. i never water hunted because the beaches [chicago lake mich] were 25 miles or 45 min to a hours drive.i always felt it was too far.and i would be out gas money instead of a few bux profit

Good lord!!!! Man I want to move out there! So what's the count so far this year?

Mike
Terrible !!! I'm blaming the Economy. Tourism is down as much as 40% here. Plus my Machine was in the shop for a month..(excuses)... I'm at 26 Gold, 2 Platinum, 52 Sterlings. And who counts the junkers, they don't count. :laughing7: Thanks for looking.

No, it's to erratic in the saltwater.... Not that the PI isn't. :icon_scratch: I'll be back out this week though. Moving back to Florida in 3 weeks so gotta get in as much hunting as I can. Aloha
